Firemack Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Albert,Check with your local NAPA supplier first, they may have some standard brake flex hose that will work, or they will know of a local brake shop that can make flex hoses. I went to National Transaxle and they can make up new brake flex hoses. You can add a 45 degree fitting to the frame side if you wnat to make the hose flex less. Our 54 B75 does not have the 45, another 60 B95 does have the 45 degree fitting, so it can be piped either way.You can also check with Whitepost restoration shops in VA. (look them up on the web) they restore all types of wheel cylinders, etc, and may also have the ability to make up the flex lines, if you cannot find anyone local.Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8993-brake-line-hoses/#findComment-33585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
